Our Lady of Lebanon, a 15-ton, seven-piece molten bronze statue honoring the Virgin Mary, has stood as a significant pilgrimage site and tourist attraction since its construction in 1908. Nestled within a pine forest, the shrine offers sweeping panoramic views of the Bay of Jounieh. Visitors can reach the complex via cable car and explore its religious and architectural highlights, including a Basilica, four churches, and a chapel. The serene setting and the intricate details of the statue create a contemplative atmosphere for both pilgrims and sightseers.
